Open OnDemand (openondemand.org) is an innovative, open-source, web-based portal that removes the complexities of research computing system environments from the end-client, and in so doing, reduces “time to science” for researchers by facilitating their access to research computing resources.
Through Open OnDemand, research computing clients can upload and download files, create, edit, submit and monitor jobs, create and share apps, run graphical user interface-based (GUI) applications and connect to a terminal, all via a web browser, with no client software to install and configure.
Open OnDemand greatly simplifies access to research computing resources, freeing domain scientists from having to worry about the operating environment and instead focus on their research.
It enables computer center staff to support a wide range of clients by simplifying the user interface and experience.
The overall impact is that clients can use remote computing resources faster and more efficiently.
This presentation will provide an overview of Open OnDemand and detail some of the success stories that have been generated from the global community of over 2,100 research computing centers that utilize it.
Additionally, this presentation will cover an update on development plans and how to get involved in the vibrant, international community of contributors.
